The foreign ministers of the European Union agreed Wednesday to suspend an agreement concluded in 2007 to facilitate the issuance of short-stay visas to Russians, reported AFP.

This suspension will make it difficult for Russians to obtain visas, said EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, according to the same source.

Additionally, Borrell announced that the meeting of ministers in Prague led to relations with Moscow “cannot remain as they are,” stressing the need for “the agreement to be suspended completely.”

This move is part of the EU’s support for Ukraine, following the Russian offensive, which began in late February and is still ongoing.
